"No one would work to establish a new school if
he wasn't driven to it by extreme dissatisfaction with
the schools already available. You simply don't set
out into the jungles of education, administration,
bureaucracy, law, and finance unless you are
thoroughly convinced that the present alternatives
are incapable of serving your needs."
